Gardens built to be lived in
We design and build gardens across the Thames Valley, Surrey and
Bath. Survey, drawings, stonework and planting, handled by one team
from the first visit to the first cut.

About us
A garden that isn’t just good to look at — it’s where you
end up.
Drawn properly. Built to last.
At Greenway we survey the levels before we draw a line, because a
garden that fights its own slope never settles, whatever you put
in the borders
Greenway 001
Design, build, planting and maintenance all sit under one roof, so
nobody is waiting on a subcontractor and nobody is blaming one.
From the first survey to the first cut of the new lawn, you deal
with us.

FAQs
The questions we get asked on every first visit
What does a garden design cost?
A full design for an average back garden is £2,400 to £4,800, depending on the size and how much level change there is. That covers the survey, a measured layout, a planting plan and a written schedule you can build from or price elsewhere. The fee is fixed in writing before we start, and it comes off the build price if you go on to build with us.
Do you build the gardens you design?
Usually, and that is the point. Design, build, planting and maintenance all sit under one roof, so the person who drew the levels is the person standing in the trench when the ground turns out different. You can take the drawings elsewhere if you would rather, and some clients do.
How long does a garden take?
Design takes six to eight weeks from the first site visit to a signed plan. Build depends on the stonework: a courtyard is three to four weeks, a full back garden with retaining walls is ten to twelve. We give you a week-by-week programme with the quote and we tell you the day it slips.
When is the best time to start?
Design through the winter, build in late winter or early spring, plant while the ground is still damp. Gardens started in October are usually finished before the first spring the family gets to use them. We build through most of the year and stop only for hard frost.
